Maryland has won six in a row and is shooting 49.0 percent on the season while allowing opponents just a .374 field goal percentage. Anthony Cowan leads the Terrapins with a 15.5 scoring average, and Kevin Huerter adds 14.4 points per game. The Terps destroyed UMBC, 66-45, on Friday even with an off-shooting night making just 21 of 55 from the field, but they hit 10 of 24 from 3-point range. Huerter scored a team-leading 20 points and Cowan added 14 points. Penn State defeated Coppin State, but the Nittany Lions lost their previous game to Rider as a 15-point favorite. They also have losses to Texas A&M and North Carolina State away from home. Maryland looks to avenge a 70-64 loss at Penn State last season, and it's a small favorite in this matchup. Play Maryland on the moneyline.
